MSI Systems Integrators (MSI) Opens its Third VisionCenter Featuring Microsoft Technologies

[Omaha, Neb. - March 17, 2006] - MSI Systems Integrators (MSI) today announced the opening of a third VisionCenter in Overland Park, KS, extending the location and functionality of its Technology Enablement Center ™ (TEC). The first VisionCenters, located in St. Louis and Omaha, Neb., were built to help enable customers to refine corporate vision and objectives around the latest Microsoft technologies.

MSI added its third VisionCenter in response to client requests in the Kansas City region for enabling Microsoft integration across the enterprise. The VisionCenter integrates Microsoft technologies with other leading software, server, storage, networking and data center technologies. By leveraging existing TEC methodology and processes, clients work with MSI engineers and solution architects to refine their organization's corporate vision and build a customized solution roadmap leveraging Microsoft technologies.

"The MSI VisionCenter really helps customers see beyond the daily struggles and allows them the perspective to build a comprehensive technology roadmap," said Jim Simpson, president and CEO, MSI Systems Integrators. "The opportunity to freely engage in an interactive briefing process that integrates Microsoft technologies with other leading software, server, storage, networking and data center technologies is unparalleled in our marketplace."

The MSI VisionCenter enables customers to see beyond the daily struggles and allows them the perspective to build a comprehensive technology roadmap. MSI possesses Microsoft competencies in advanced infrastructure, networking infrastructure, and has a growing software development practice to address the growing needs of their customers.

"We're excited to see MSI Systems Integrators, a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner, investing in these VisionCenters," said Lane Sorgen, Central Region vice president for Microsoft's Small to Midmarket Solutions and Partners Group. "As the Microsoft Technology Centers around the world offer our customers the facilities and resources needed to efficiently envision, architect, and evaluate a customized solution, MSI's VisionCenters now extend the reach to customers locally across more of our mutual business segments."

MSI VisionCenters are physically located in Omaha, NE; St. Louis, MO; and Overland Park, KS; but the functionality is accessible from any of the company's six existing and three planned Technology Enablement Centers in cities throughout the Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
